Guideline 1: Provide Options for Recruiting Interest
Meeting Minutes Discussion: Engagement vs Entertainment Entertainment is short - lived; "thoughtless," information given to the students Engagement is: ideas last longer; thoughtful; students are inquisitive and creative and problem-solvers; more about how students get the information and what they do with the information afterwards; often has an end product or goal
Providing options for recruiting interest means: 1. Optimize individual choice and autonomy
2. Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity 3. Minimize threats and distractions
This is a constructivist theory - have students relate the content to their own life.
Example from Cressler - Silk Road Game (will post to UDL exchange) to recruit interest. Allows every students to get involved in learning about the Silk Road. This is also another means of information representation.
